Exactly this. I got invited to the beta weekend and spent every waking moment, not at work, on Overwatch. If I had beta access, I'd probably not try to shove all my play time into a few precious hours.

I played the entire weekend when I wasn't off at work and I definitely agree with you on a good chunk of your observations. I can definitely appreciate the thought you put into this. Thank you for sharing and I hope you get a beta key.

From my experience, if you're using something like the Wacom Intuos or Bamboo versus the Cintiq, the difference being that you are drawing on the tablet and looking at a monitor versus looking directly at the tablet while drawing, there's a bit of a learning curve. Personally I felt that drawing directly on paper gave me a greater level of control that I haven't quite seemed get with the tablet. Of course I'm still learning myself but if you feel for some reason you're not making a ton of headway with the tablet, try the paper. It gave me a bit of understanding and a confidence boost.

In the new series, want the Doctor allergic to aspirin or some common pain killer? I would assume there would be some kind of medical specialist to treat that if there were still other Gallifreyans around.

I'm not super familiar with Lebanese food but if you like Middle Eastern food, Petra House is very, very good.

Mint Tea is a place downtown that serves some pretty good coffee and tea. It also serves a lot of gluten free and vegan fair but the food is pretty tasty.

Sugar and Salt cafe and bakery sells a MEAN cup of coffee and a delicious $5 plate of bacon and sausage biscuits and gravy before 12PM.

Compass Coffee Downtown Vancouver is pretty good for coffee as well.

Went crazy with the cafes. Sorry about that. XD

Edit: If you love beer and want something with a good English menu, hit up the Horse Brass Pub in Portland. Moon and Sixpence is also quite nice. Not as large as a beer selection but it's quite a bit cozier.
